Ooh I would love to learn more. Do you have a link or summary of your process to propagate using this?
I think every plant is different, but I always had trouble getting tissue cultures to root and they do great in this. it's a lot like perlite but because its a mineral it has nutrients for a plant that perlite and other substrates do not.
the last time I bought some of this it was for a thai constellation tissue culture.
So the last time I bought this stuff (or what I think is the same stuff), I rinsed it for what seemed like an hour, and yet it still seemed to kick up some blackish/brownish silt? Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong?

It will let off that silt pretty much no matter what. It's basically volcanic dirt pressed into small pellets. The more it's rinsed and agitated the more it breaks up and makes a mess. If anything a light rinse to get ride of excess dust. Then place in aquarium, put a plate or something on the bottom and pour the water into the plate to minimize agitation. Then let things settle or your filter pad can help decloud.
